OWASP St. Louis: Secure By Design

Secure By Design - A Presentation by CISA

This presentation introduces Secure by Design, an approach that makes security a core requirement throughout the technology lifecycle. It examines how insecure software shifts the costs of hardening, patching, and incident response to customers.

Drawing on CISA and international guidance, the session outlines secure defaults, proactive engineering, transparency, and executive accountability. It also considers how recent advances in computing are accelerating vulnerability discovery and exploitation, increasing the need for manufacturers to reduce risk at its source.
